Speculations

Wow, what a scary looking mouthful of a thread title. This belongs in pseudoscience and metaphysics for a reason, I'm sure you're thinking. Well, it certainly does, and given that, let's proceed... Okay, given that all of the elementary particles in the standard model, as well as are a number of things we can't yet explain, are composed of little vibrating one dimensional energy strings, and given that these strings form larger, extradimensional structures (p-branes and d-branes), the movement of everything in this universe carries on outside of it. We witness extradimensional connections forming all the time when we witness quantum entanglements, for example in th…

Well, it seems to me that it is only logical that all bodies are like bubbles. If you were to study bubbles more, you would probably learn about gravity and all sorts of things. I also wonder if gravity is atmosphere and friction. Basically, if an object gets caught in with other elements, namely gaseous elements, it will begin to form planets and higher gravity depending on the element's weight. So, as an object move into earth's atmosphere, the elements then buildup--so, moving through the force of the weight of the elements, an object will simply be forced downward. The further down it moves, the more pressure there is (because the pressure of the elements above i…

Can you make this sentence a bit clearer? If you follow the laws of physics in many different angles, scales, etc., you will see them all echoing (whether large or small). So, whereby you see an atom with a nucleus and electrons spinning around it, as material manifests in larger proportions, you begin to see atoms being rebuilt on a larger scale (solar systems, galaxies, etc.). As such, such comparisons and analogies are not necessarily to induce deeper thinking alone, but such analogies may and often are precisely and objective. If you were to equate life to the biological span of a pregnancy, then death becomes another biological and conscious (HUGE) event/transfo…

umm... I really don't know where this could go so I put it here. Maybe if there was a mythology forum. Also I'm not sure if this was discussed already, I tried searching, haven't found anything, but since it is a very intriguing subject... Anyway.. I saw this documental on dragons. Off course there's no evidence they exist yet, but the documental pretends they really existed and forms an awsome story and background on dragons. They explain how they've evolved from the cretaceous era till the last one that was killed by knights and dragonslayers in medieval europe. I thought it was really well made. Just wanted to see any thoughts on this, I particularly find it intrig…

http://www.thefinaltheory.com This was advertised in the ad at the top of a page around here, so I thought I would take a look. Apparently this guy has a theory about how the universe works and how all science is wrong. Then he takes the physicsforums thread about it and gives that as proof, stating that all they are doing is argue over it. So I thought I would run the idea past the people here, to see what we'd all say. If possible, someone could get the author to register here and put up a defense. In a minute or so I'll start working on a debunking of his theory, but I'll do that separately so you all can start yours sooner. note: this goes along with my inter…

After decades of hype regarding how fast and how revolutionary scientific research was supposed to be, here we are in a world that is indeed almost identical to the one of 30 or 40 years ago. Yes we may have more "gadgets" but aside from the internet and only a few really new technologies or discoveries, all the hype surrounding science is revealing that it was only hype. Companies and governments spend less and less on basic scientific research, they prefer to create combination products ony to sell more like cell phones with cameras etc. All the revolutionary applications of computers haven't changed none of the fundamentals of the world, we still need gas to go aroun…

I was reading somewhere that there is a theory that says all the energy that gets pulled into a black hole comes back out of a white hole. Then it said the problem with this theory is that white holes haven't been discovered yet. What if the stars are white holes? Although we have theories, we have never proven exactly what causes a star to burn. What if it is the light and energy that is pulled into black holes? Another part of my theory is that the universe is like two pieces of paper. What if most of the stars are on the top piece, and most of the black holes are on the bottom piece? If my theory is true, we would live on the top piece. In the space between …

Can a human being be magnetized? It has been suggested by some, that if we want to accelerate human beings beyond the 6-8 g's, at which highly trained fighter pilots black out at, that the only way to do it, is to turn the human body into a magnet, so that the human being's body will not be subjected to internal stresses and strains which would tear the body apart. Is that the only way to do it? Is that even possible? If it is impossible, what is the most rapid proof proving so, so that it can be eliminated from consideration? For whatever it's worth, I myself don't think this idea will work.

I am currently looking thru massive amounts of material concerning the mutaion of creatures big, bigger, and small. Mutations in the DNA seem to remove genetic information not slap on more, so in order for evolution to work, it must be adding relevant information to new enviromental factors that allow for the mutaions to rise. But since the DNA does not accomidate for random mutations what about protein? Could protein molecules change with the enviroment? could it be the protein that mutates first, then with its new Shape and information, add information relavant to the survival of the cell into the DNA thus altering the information encoded in the DNA? Also, mutatiuons w…

This thread is proposing the infinite-infinite universe where all conceivable possibilities exist within our infinite universe. This theory completely allows any contradiction within it's terms because that would be just another possibility (or combination) so a red planet exists and doesn't exist at the same time. Anyways the theory is COMPLETELY CONTRADICTORY and makes no attempt as to limit the contradictions. IF every conceivable idea, concept, matter, universe, planet etc. exists then there is no need for any explanations of anything since everything is just a given combination from the infinite amount of combinations. You need to explain something if there is only o…

How do i know that i am me? How do you know you are you? Why and how am i aware of my surroudings? I DO NOT want the typical christian response of, "Because that is the way God intended things to be." This is not a valid response in my opinion. Is there some kind of chemical explanation for awareness? Does it have to do with having a "soul" (for lack of a better term). If so where does that come from? I'm just looking for some answers.

I was thinking the other night, as I usually do, and I was thinking about the possible reasons fo impossibility of time travel, aside from the usual blah blah about the space-time continuim and such. I came up with a couple realativly simple situations to that would cause some kind of strange effect in the universe if time travel were possible. I call this one the Noah's Arch effect. Suppose you were living today, and in the bible you read about the story of Noah's Arch. Then you decide to go back in time to Noah's time. When you get there, you find that he does not know of the flood coming. You decide to tell him its comming, and he builds his arch and the story is w…

there aught to be a thread for this topic, so here it is. this is my pepetual motion machine. its in space, its a dounut shapped magnet. in the center is anohter magnet, same polarity. the dougnut magnet is place slightly offcenter on the horizotal plain, it is released. it should eventualy reach a equalibrim, but in zeroG and a vacum it could be some time, besides, tecnicaly in a true vacum that is near pepetual. im sure you guys can do better though. but dose anyone know what the current prize for a pepetual motion device is?

Is he a fraud? Discuss please.

is it possible or not ?

Biological systems form around information passing between the microcosm and macrocosm. Biological systems where irreducibly complex in a Darwinian framwork, but no longer in the light of this new discovery. This vesica attractor represents an emerging eukaryote system that crystallizes though sucssesive stages from higher to lower order iteration matrices, while being shaped by an internal and external fluid dynamics. An attactor in the form a {vortex/funnel shape, logarithmic curve, a mobile circular mass of cyanobacterail filaments and oolites} capture and contain a circular flow of sea water after it comes to rest. This internalized flow inside the micro-enviro…

SuP. Recently, I've become aware of the Rainbow Project / Philadelphia Experiment. This has me very interested, and I wished to ask here, if it is physically possible. That's the bit which I wanted to ask. Apperantly, Einstein was also working onthe project - in that he developed thoeries to make it possibl. More info here: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/pages/philadelphia.html Thanks a lot!!!

...that everything is made up of energy, right? When u break anything down to it's smallest, it's energy. So what the F? Apparently, when we die we still exist as energy so what h3ll is going on? Anyone got any thoughts on this. I have read lots of books about past lives, reincarnation etc. Just like to get some other opinions.

I was reading here and there of how much chinese production in various industries continues to increase (textiles, TV sets etc). Could this actually be a clever way of indirectly creating world wide communism by overproducing everything and letting the prices get lower and lower worldwide ? Since they are a closed society with enormous manpower they could eventually virtually out compete almost everyone in every field. Imagine if they started exporting cars, furniture at the same rate of their textile industry! They could always prove that their communist system can produce unlimited goods for everyone therefore proving that capitalism is not the future ?

I've just been looking into some metaphysics stuff online (gotta be careful about that kind of stuff), so I come here to attempt to explain what can only be classified as abnormal science. Anyway, I found something in the lines of Orgone Devices, with James DeMeo and whatnot. Can someone please explain to me what exactly drives his "cloudbuster"?? Or any of his other inventions for that matter? Im not the kind to believe in the "Energy of Life", but the ideas have me curious. I've also heard of Herman Meinke as an "eccentric genius" who's got plenty of ideas on the orgone devices. Does anyone have any thoughts on any of these guys or their "ideas"? Honestly, I wa…

Metaphysics is a completely different concept from pseudoscience. Pseudoscience is something that may look like science at first glance, but ends up having a problem such as not being reproducible. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy related to natural sciences. Metaphysics is not science. However, scientists do believe in metaphysical ideas or ontologies. If they did not, their theories would mean absolutely nothing. For example, physicists must accept certain mathematical truths or axioms such as x=x or 0+x=x. These truths have nothing to do with science or experimentation, but are considered to be true. Even if physicists discover a single "theory of everythi…

Can humanity slowly evolve backwards until it reaches the dark ages again forgetting all its science and technology ? As it is now there are really very few people in the world who understand the hardest parts of technology science and its mathematical procedures. Actually everyone knows just a very small part of our technology. It would not be hard to imagine an evolution where fewer and fewer people know the details until a point reaches where we actually start forgetting crucial parts. Who can make a microprocessor at home? Who knows all the steps necessary? Even the best scientists have to rely on hundreds of other technicians for all the details. Isn't this a very fr…

A marriage counselor I know told me this story: A middle-aged couple came to her for therapy because after 30 years of marriage they were contemplating divorce. When she asked why she did not get a clear answer. It sort of amounted to this: The kids are gone now, we are retired, and every day is pretty much the same. She said that they were the most boring couple she had ever met. They had nothing juicy in their past and nothing to be excited about for the future. It was difficult to get them to talk. When they talked, they were both utterly boring. They had few common interests except television. They actually had few interests at all. One day the wife s…

An article on the project in question Website of the project itself I happened across this on another forum, and for the life of me, I can't tell if it's legit, a mistake, or just very, very crafty psuedoscience. My immediate reaction was that it's BS, but I don't want to be closed-minded about it, so I dug into it. The first thing that comes to mind is that their random numbers were from a psuedo-random number generation algorithm, but the site actually lists the devices they use, which are apparently based on quantum principles. Then again, they could just be detecting patterns in what quantum assumes is patternless. But why would multiple machines simu…
